Many years ago, director Wu Yusen attended a Christmas party held by a film studio, and while he was unconsciously drinking a few more drinks, he was drowsy when he sat down with a beautiful girl not far away.
She walked in wearing tight jeans and a loose shirt, and Wu Yusen instantly sat up when she saw it, and shouted after waking up: "It turned out to be Red Girl!" ”
This red girl is Zhong Chuhong.
In the entertainment circle of beautiful women, Zhong Chuhong is definitely worthy of all kinds of styles.
Andy Lau called her an ideal wife, and Jackie Chan praised her as "a beautiful peacock."
Li Ao once wrote: "If Marilyn Monroe has survived, it will be about the appearance of Zhong Chuhong." ”
Even zhang Guorong, an older brother with a unique vision, has become her little fan: "Zhong Chuhong's shortcomings are too beautiful, even if she is not good enough, you will forgive." ”
When he was young, Zhong Chuhong did not know how many people were amazed. It is said that there are many stories of beauty, but few great beauties like Zhong Chuhong can walk into her story.
This may have something to do with her unique personality.
Whether it is career, feelings, or life, life, she has her own ideas and persistence, not to bend the curve, nor to go with the flow. If we take a closer look at Zhong Chuhong's experience, we will find that Zhong Chuhong is really a good girl.
Beauty aside, perhaps it is this maverick that has made her unique.
When he was a teenager, Zhong Chuhong especially loved to fight, and he had a completely boyish personality.
At that time, she lived with her parents and three younger siblings, and a large family in Chungking Mansions, Tsim Sha Tsui, which was also a settlement of Indo-Pakistani people.
There is a small park next to the building, where children often chase and play, and Indian and Pakistani children regard the small park as their own territory, and whenever other children pass by, they will be driven away.
Six- and seven-year-old Zhong Chuhong can't see past it, and often fights with Indian and Pakistani children, so he also won the prestige of "female bully".
When she is older and begins to understand the hardships of life, this "chivalrous" style that has not been afraid of heaven since she was a child has gradually evolved into the background of her life.
Father Zhong runs a clothing business, but his personality is weak, his management and accounts are a mess, and he has no money left at the end of the year, and his family life is very poor. At the age of 11, Zhong Chuhong volunteered to become her father's accountant.
Shrewd and capable, she soon discovered the deceitful behavior of the workers and directly confronted them without mercy. When her father found out, he taught her that there were no rules, and she was quite unconvinced: I am not here for your own good!
Zhong Chuhong, who has a tough personality and loves to fight and hug, although she "has a grudge" with people everywhere, those people do not seem to have the heart to blame her.
She fought with male classmates, and no boy ever fought back, and even if there was anything delicious, they liked to buy it for Zhong Chuhong. Other female classmates did not have this good treatment. From this "differentiated treatment", she has a sense of "her own beauty".
As he grew older, Zhong Chuhong became more and more peugeot and delicate.
At the age of 19, coinciding with the 7th Miss Hong Kong contest, Mother Zhong, who was expecting to change the fate of her family by competition, signed her up.
Among the Hong Kong sisters in that year, the most vocal was Zheng Wenya, and finally she wore the back crown as expected. Another favored one is Zhong Chuhong, but she is upset and relegated to fourth.
The culprit is a pair of high heels. Since childhood, Zhong Chuhong, who has a big grin and is full of boyishness, is not used to wearing high heels, and when he is nervous, he makes a mistake and falls, and this fall falls out of the top three.
Although she was not selected, her beauty left a deep impression on people, and later she was named the "most beautiful Hong Kong sister" among the previous Generations of Hong Kong Sisters.
After the game, Zhong Chuhong relied on this title to participate in auditions everywhere, but unfortunately ran into walls everywhere, and finally accepted wireless acceptance and was able to serve as a guest in "Happy Tonight". Zhong Chuhong, who can go straight, is difficult to adapt to the improvisational program mode, and the guest position has not yet sat hot, and he left.
Say it is withdrawn, self-knowledge, if you are not suitable, even if it is a rare opportunity, rather than awkward and reluctant to maintain, it is better to withdraw in time.
This resolute, non-nostalgic style of doing things forms a strong contrast with her delicate appearance, and it is also a unique scenery in the entertainment industry.
Zhong Chuhong was lucky. Before being held hostage to her next job, she met Liu Songren, a nobleman.
At that time, Liu Songren had already been promoted to a celebrity with the "Lu Xiaofeng" series of TV series. Zhong Chuhong's pure temperament deeply attracted Liu Songren.
Liu Songren recommended her to star in Du Qifeng's "Bishui Hanshan Killing Gold" and played the female number one. But because her acting skills are too jerky, it did not stir up any splashes, but a scandal with Liu Songren brushed her sense of existence.
Let the audience see that she grew up in the "Hu Yue Story" that cooperated with Zhou Runfa. This film opened the way for her and Zhou Runfa to cp on the screen, and then they collaborated on many works such as "Ghost Bride" and "Autumn Fairy Tale". In this film, she plays the Vietnamese woman Shen Qing.
At the beginning, director Xu Anhua was also worried: "Will such a beautiful woman not be in line with the bumpy fate of the Vietnamese boatman Shen Qing in the movie?" Until the film was broadcast, Zhong Chu's red eyes were still talking, which surprised people that the original beautiful woman was not necessarily a vase.
In 1983, a film "Man and Woman" earned her nominations for the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. From the vase to the real actor, the hard work behind it is unimaginable to outsiders.
The director made her jump from 20 feet high, and she jumped without blinking, no matter how dangerous the shot, she insisted on taking it herself.
During the filming of "Project Falcon", the martial artist threw glass at her and accidentally hit her on the back of the neck, and the blood kept oozing out. The staff wanted to take her to the hospital, but she insisted on going home to rest. Later, according to the hair stylist, Zhong Chuhong's injured part had no hair.
Her strong and stubbornness in acting subverted people's stereotypes of beautiful women. Zhong Chuhong, who threw off the doubts and vase labels, gradually rose to become a popular actress, and was called "Xia Yu Fanghong" with Lin Qingxia, Maggie Cheung, and Mei Yanfang.
At the same time, her dedication to playing is greater than the sky, and she also attracts a good friend.
In "Flowing Golden Years", Zhong Chuhong played the poor girl Zhu Suosuo, and Maggie Cheung played the rich woman Jiang Nansun. Although the status is different from the cloud and mud, the two have become confidants.
This sisterhood also continues from the play to the outside of the play, all of them are from Hong Kong, they have encountered acting skills questions, they have all come to the acting school with hardships, similar personalities, similar experiences, so that they have become the best sisters in the circle.
But the two people who feel sorry for each other almost broke up because of the man.
At that time, Maggie Cheung and Er Dongsheng were in a period of hot love, and Er Dongsheng did not want to disclose their love affair, so Maggie Cheung still told Zhong Chuhong the good news.
At the same time, Zhong Chuhong is also in love with Zhu Jiading, zhu Jiading does not want to open the relationship, she only shared her good deeds with Maggie Cheung.
In an interview, Maggie Cheung accidentally revealed that Zhong Chuhong had cohabited with Zhu Jiading, and the news immediately became the front page headlines of major newspapers. Zhong Chuhong, who was angry, said in an interview with the media that Maggie Cheung and Er Dongsheng had reached the stage of talking about marriage.
The two who broke the news of each other completely broke up and never saw each other again. It wasn't until many years later, under the mediation of Ye Qianwen and Zhang Guorong, that he let go of the mustard in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Chuhong, who was righteous and free, had such a fierce temperament.
In fact, emotionally, Zhong Chuhong has always been a person who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. This is true for friendship, and it is also very picky about love. For people you don't like, even if the other party is arrogant and golden, they will not pay more attention to you for half a point.
There was once a wealthy businessman who bid seven figures and wanted to be friends with Zhong Chuhong. She was unmoved, "I don't have any money?" He wanted me to accompany an old man. I wouldn't be like this! ”
She was outspoken and not afraid to offend people, because she understood that those people were not very sincere.
At the cocktail party, a brother came over and put him on her shoulder, and she unceremoniously threw it away, "He was not polite first, and those people will not be treasures when we are." ”
People with similar interests, it doesn't matter how rich and powerful they are.
In addition to the rich businessmen and magnates, some well-known people in the circle are also difficult to impress the hearts of beautiful people.
Director Yu Rentai once showed his love in public, saying that being able to marry Zhong Chuhong as a wife was a blessing cultivated in several lifetimes. Zhong Chuhong, who was a few meters away, was indifferent, as if there was no existence of Yu Rentai at all.
The handsome brother Russell also chased After Zhong Chuhong. At that time, New Art City wanted to "dig" Honggu, and the handsome man Russell had just returned to China to develop, and he was shocked to see Honggu at first sight, and Mai Jia, a giant of New Art City, wanted to make this happen, so he often gave the two people the opportunity to get along to win over Honggu. It is a pity that Hong gu does not look at Russell's overly western style and rejects people.
It can be seen that Zhong Chuhong is also a beautiful and traditional woman. Such a woman will never linger on a rootless and leafless relationship.
During the filming of "Strange Tricks and Five Lucky Stars", a moustache singer fell in love with Chu Hong. He knew that Honggu loved to eat fried beef, so he calculated the time to wait at Honggu's residence, no matter how late it was, until the beauty. However, because he had a family, Zhong Chuhong tried his best to avoid seeing him. It is said that this moustache singer is Lin Zixiang, a big man in the music world.
Being a little third is what Hong gu despises, don't say people you don't like, even if you are a person who is devoted, once you touch the bottom line, you will endure the pain of cutting love.
She and Jackie Chan are related to the drama, and the two who are in love have developed to go in and out together. But at that time, Jackie Chan was already married to Lin Fengjiao, and in order to pursue Zhong Chuhong, he concealed the fact that he was married. After knowing the truth, Honggu immediately broke up with Jackie Chan.
For "wrong love", Honggu has always been able to stop losses in time and not entangle.
While filming "Patrol Horse" in South Korea, she accidentally fell from the bridge from the glacier, resulting in a crushing fracture of her left ankle. After a few days of painful filming, my feet became more and more swollen. Photographer Li Cuiming saw the situation and hurried to carry her to the hospital in Seoul for medical treatment. Later, she returned to Hong Kong to continue her treatment, which was also after Lai Chui Ming was busy. He carried Zhong Chuhong through customs and registered until he entered the hospital in Hong Kong.
His meticulous care quickly heated up the relationship, but they broke up two years later due to personality incompatibility. Someone once asked her if it was possible to get back together, and she bluntly said, "I'm the kind of person who won't look back." ”
Do not play love games, do not rely on love to get benefits, do not procrastinate, this toughness and self-sustaining, let her become one of the cleanest female artists in the entertainment industry.
Such a person deserves to be happy.
In 1991, Zhong Chuhong collaborated with Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong on "Across the Seas". She is no longer the little girl who doesn't wear high heels, but a sexy goddess who can also sway in high heels. Her three dances with the head of the auction house, Azan and Azu are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
Zhong Chuhong's reputation was greatly enhanced, and at that time, there were fans of all walks of life in Hong Kong who admired her, so much so that there was a saying circulating in the anecdotes, "No matter how red it is, zhong Chuhong, no more hair than Zhou Runfa." ”
But just when her career was in full swing, she announced that she quit the entertainment industry and got married.
For the past achievements, she does not feel regret, "I gave all my young years to the movie, that is enough." Although I enjoy my days as an actor, I don't linger on it. "It's also really free.
Zhong Chuhong and her husband Zhu Jiading met because of filming advertisements.
Zhu Jiading, who is six years older than Zhong Chuhong, is an advertising prodigy who has won the Golden Sail Award, the highest honor in Hong Kong's advertising industry, and has won more than 200 awards individually. The classic advertising slogan "A diamond lasts forever, one lasts forever." I don't care about how long it lasts, I only care about what I once had" is from his hand.
In 1983, Zhu Jiading wanted to shoot a group of sports brand advertisements, and he invited Ball King Bailey and Zhong Chuhong to partner. Zhong Chuhong's healthy and sexy image made Zhu Jiading secretly fall in love with him, but there was no further development.
The trigger for Zhu Zhong's love stemmed from an illness.
In 1988, Zhong Chuhong had a fever for several consecutive days, because she wanted to catch the drama, and simply took a few pills to alleviate it. A few days later, she fainted at home, and her family took her to the hospital for a check-up, saying it was peritonitis and needed surgery.
In those days, Zhu Jiading took good care of him in front of the sickbed every day, and in order to satisfy the taste buds of the beauty, he did not hesitate to run tens of kilometers, just to find the best one.
Zhu Jiading's warmth and intimacy made Zhong Chuhong very moved. In fact, among the many suitors, Zhu Jiading's wealth is not a tycoon level, his appearance is also mediocre, wearing a pair of glasses, it is really not handsome, but in Honggu's heart, it is difficult to buy the heart with money, and the reputation of money can be ignored, as for appearance, it is even less than mentioned.
In December 1991, Zhu Jiading spent millions of dollars to organize a wedding in the United States, which showed that he cherished his wife. Zhong Chuhong liked a free life, and Zhu Jiading persuaded the old man of the Zhu family not to force her to pass on the lineage.
In order to protect this rare true feeling, Zhong Chuhong decided to quit the entertainment circle and only concentrate on being Mrs. Zhu. Zhong Chuhong, who used to have ten fingers that did not stick to the spring water of the yang, began to study food and wash her hands for her husband to make soup. Zhu Jiading also gave his wife a huge silver cup on Valentine's Day, which was engraved with "the best chef in the world" on it.
The two have been in love for more than ten years and have never had negative news. At that time, there was a saying in Hong Kong: "Eight of the ten couples in Hong Kong are divorced, one is too lazy to divorce because of habits, and the only loving couple is Hong gu and Zhu Jiading." ”
It is not easy for people to meet people who love themselves and understand themselves and tolerate themselves in this life, although they have given up their thriving careers, they have also gained a happy love, weighing and comparing, and it is also a fortunate thing in life.
Unfortunately, the love is not long-lived.
In 2007, Zhu Jiading died of rectal cancer, leaving Honggu with his entire legacy, and the last words "You must be strong".
How can Zhong Chuhong, who has lost her lover, be strong?
During that time, she was often photographed by the media as emotionally broken and haggard. Friends revealed that she had to take sleeping pills every night to fall asleep, and every time she saw her, tears hung from the corners of her eyes. The husband left for four months and refused to take off his filial piety.
At her husband's memorial service, she wrote a letter: "You gave me the most wonderful 20 years of my life, let me realize the truth, goodness and beauty of life, and the most precious thing is that I once had you forever." ”
It's literally tearful.
After her husband's death, she decided not to accept another relationship: "The marriage she once had was perfect, who is better than him?" What he brought to me was enough for the rest of my life. ”
During those dark days, it was her husband's love that supported her to come through, and it was also his love that encouraged her to continue to discover the warmth of life.
Zhong Chuhong, who had been in pain for seven years, once again ignited his enthusiasm for life.
Every year, she would look for one or two places she hadn't been before, see beautiful landscapes, and eat a delicious meal, but she still often thought of him, "If he's here, how nice it would be to share it with me." ”
She also loves photography, and under her lens there are great rivers and mountains, as well as the simple citizens of Hong Kong, showing her peaceful and relieved heart everywhere.
She also raises cats, grows flowers, and is an environmental ambassador, living a life full of people.
However, people do not believe that a beautiful woman can really stay lonely, she has been asked many times whether there will be new love, and once again broke people's imaginations: "I have too much love around me, people around me give me love, I don't need to be in love." 」 For animals, for nature, and for my flowers and plants, I have so much to love, I don't need to rely on a love to make myself happy. ”
The 60-year-old Honggu is a person who has the courage to speak like this.
Time has passed, no matter what kind of struggle she has experienced before, she has always been the self-sufficient, self-sustaining red girl, sober and not complaining.
Zheng Xiuwen once commented on her: "The cuteness of honggu lies in the smart choice not to be attached." ”
She has always had a scale in her heart, desperately maintaining what she has chosen; never nostalgic for what is not suitable for herself; and no need to dwell on what has passed away. Career, life and human feelings, which is more important than the other, is extremely clear and never ambiguous.
Such a "just" red girl is really a strange woman with a soul and a scenery in her heart.
